 The
Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan is fast emerging from centuries
of self imposed isolation Bhutan, hidden in the eastern Himalayas,
is an exotic land of Mahayana Bhuddhism, pristine environment,
high mountains, alpine forests and lush valleys. It is a fascinating
land of immense natural beauty coupled with its unique culture
and ancient traditions - as yet, untouched by outside influences.
Bhutan has for years chosen to stay isolated to minimize external
influences on their land and culture thus becoming the world's
most exclusive tourist destination.
Bhutan, approx the size of
Switzerland, covers an area of 47, 000 sq. KM & has a
population of less that 700, 000 inhabitants. These figures
hoever do not reflect the incredible geographical & ecological
diversity of the country nor its natural wealt. The range
of altitudes revel its variety, rising from 300m on the Indian
frontier to 7, 300m on the Tibet border. The land is reminiscent
of a gigantic staircase.
With modern transportataion
facilities, you can now comfortably experience the warm hospitality
of its friendly people the carefree Bhutanese lifestyle and
the culture of the peaceful haven. Magnificent scenery, fortresses
form the past that are awesome in design & monasteries
with traditional & unique style.
